Marketers have spent a lot of money trying to convince media consumers that they can tell the difference between well-compressed A/V and uncompressed. This is not unique to Sony fans, though the PS3's positioning as a media center has caused a lot of the BS to leak into its marketing. Therefore, Sony fans react to compression as though it would significantly degrade the game, when the fact is that it simply will not.
Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
